To all whom it may concern: said specification. The invention is fully Belt known that I, Lino Bosnnwmn, a illustrated in the accompanying drawings, i i, f) cit1zenofthe Unlted States, residingat in wh1ch:--

Newark, inthecounty of Essex and State of Figure 1. is a face or planview showing a do New Jersey, have invented certain new and fragmentary portion of a strip or fly prouseful improvements in: Fastener Strips; vided with a pair of fasteners, all arranged and I do hereby declare the following to be cording to and embodying the principles a full, clear, and exact description of the of the present invention.

invention, such as will enable others skilled Figure 2 is a rear face view of the several 10 in the art to which it appertains to make and evices illustrated in said Figure 1; and

lVith the various obiects of the present i11- In practice, the main body of the strip is ventionin View, the said invention consists, folded longitudinally along the line of said prnnarlly, 1n the novel arrangements and perforations, holes or slits 2, so as to provide combinatlons of the devlces and. parts, and a flap 4:, 1n the fold or edge 5 of whlchthe 45 th novel eans for securing the fasteners said perforations, holes or slits2 are thus in position upon a strip, adapted to retain located, as shown more particularly in said the fasteners in place against movement and Figure 41: of the drawings. Fasteners, in the accidental displacement, all of which will form of hooks 6 are now inserted in said be more fully described in the following perforations, holes or slits 2, in such a man- 50 specification, and then finally embodied in ner, that the eye-portions 7 thereof will be the clauses of the claims which are appended located between the said folded portions of to and which form an essential part/of the the strip, and that the hook-pmtions R of said fasteners will extend beyond the edge 5,

in the manner indicated in said Figure 4.

The folded portion or flap 4 is now sec1i1'ed to the main portion of the strip by able strip isproduced.

sewing in theforin of a line of stitches 9,

said line of stitches passing through the cen ter of the eye-portions 70f the fasteners 6, the straight line of stitches 9being interrupted at the respective eye-portions 7-,;and

being angularly disposed, as at 1.0 and 11,

said stitchings 10 and S11 being. connected by intermediately disposed jump-stitches 12. It 'wlll'be evident from an inspection of said Figure 4, that the various stitchihgs 10, 11 and 12 will thus securely fasten the eyeportions't' .ofthe fasteners 6 in place,against loose movement of the fasteners with relation to the istripyandalSo against any acciden gal displacement therefrom.

'ie said strip 1 is next: folded over, in

the .manner illustratedin'Figures 2 and 23 o the drawings, thereby forming the longitudlnally extending marginal edge 13, and

each hook-portions 'of'said fasteners 6 is then passed into and through a perforatiOIlg-hOlQ or slit 3, so that the'cornpleted strip represented in Figure 1 will be the result-{and as represented'ih said Figure .1,

.onlythehook-portions 7 of the fasteners 6 are e'xposed to view, and no stitches are shown. i

I Asl showinthestrip l may be provided. with a fold 14If0r sewing the strip with its fasteners to a garment, but said foldl may beomitted, if desired.

The strip Lwithits fasteners 6 may also beused connectionwith a garment, when f merely providedi'with but the single folder lap, as shown in Figure 4, in which case the erfbrations, holes or slits 3 are omitted, but refer to double fold the strip, as illuste ted Fifinres 1 land 3 ,of the drawingsea s there a neater and more presentsimple neatand"well-appearing strip for garments has been produced, and that the m axiinuinportions of the fasteners used in connection therewith are covered, except their working ends, so that the danger of rusting, and thereby rendering the garment unsi htly and unfit for wear, is reduced to a minimum; and, furthermore, the gheral construction is simplified because of the manner of arranging and quickl inserting the fasteners in position and sewing them fast in the manner herein-above described, each fastener being retained in its operativ position, against wobbling or tilting motion, as Well as against displacement.

I claim 1. A fabric-stri cdmprisinga main bodyportion and a foi ded member in the form of a flap, the fold between said body-portion and flap being provided with an opening, a hook-shaped fastener having its main portiondisposed between said body-portion and said flap, and having its hook-portion extending from said opening, a line of stitching for securing said nap and fastener upon the rear face of said body-portion, said stitched members being folded against the rear face of another part of said main bodyportion, and a second opening laterally in alinement with said first-mentioned'opening through which the hook-portion of the fastener is also projected so as to extend over the outer face of the strip.

2. A fabric-stri comprising a main bodyportion and a to ded member in the form of a flap, the fold between said body-portion and flap being provided with an opening, a fastener having eye-portions and a hook-portion, said e e-portions bein disposed between said bodyortion and said flap, a line of stitching or securing said flap upon the rear face of said body-portion, said stitching being provided with tackstitching and a jump-stitching passing into and about the eye-portions of mid fastener, and said hookortion extending from said opening, said s itched members being folde against the rear face of another part of said main body-portion, and a second opening laterally in alinenient with said first-mentioned opening through which the hook-portion of the fastener is also projected so as to extend over the outer face of the strip.

In testimony, that I claim the invention set forth above I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of Februar 1921-.v
